Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy T-shape Roman brooch. Although the leg, catch-plate and half of the pin have been lost, what survives is fine with a matt-grey patina. The extant pin measures 15.75mm in length. It has a circular cross-section and a pointed oval perforated end. The wings are rectangular with rounded ends. The length across them is 30.5mm. They are decorated by two ridges created by grooving at their tips on the upper surface. They are below the head which turns through a right angle to begin the bow which then continues to slope downward, attaining the level of the wings by the point of the (old) break. The head/upper bow features a central moulding that tapers as it travels down the bow. It features three transverse grooves on the bow and has an incised cross in saltire on the head. The bow tapers from a width of 11.15mm at the head to 5.9mm at the point of break. It is recessed on the lower surface all the way along its length. The sides are diagonally faceted at the head. On the bow there is a central shallow ridge within a longitudinal recess. Along the sides are deep diagonal nicks that approach a serrated edge.
